Unboxing day! Massive packaging. Everything arrived in fine shape. Will get to unwrapping the cut pieces soon. Then layout all the pieces according to the first part of the thread.

Those look really nicely made and boxed.

Have you decided on a finish yet?

Hi HAL,
yes... Ferrari Red !
That's the way to go, well, that's the way I went.
Yes, I know, not exactly the real Ferrari red,
but for me close enough.

Guy,
Looks good.

Going to add either cream or black racing stripes to these with the Ferrari Red.

Depends on weather in Colorado. Probably sometime in the summer.

Until then, basic MDF brown.

I'm old and just like simple racing stripes on the red. No yellow pony for me.

Flat pack parts unpacked. Boxes are for other items being shipped out.

Lots of dowel's for holding it all together.

HAL · « **Reply #91 on:** 5 Mar 2015, 02:08 am »

Unpacked on OB servo H-Frame to start the gluing process.

Since we are supposed to be snowed and iced in tomorrow, good day to give it a try.

I talked with Ruben last night and his computer has failed

He is very concerned that folks are trying to get a hold of him and can't. He asked me via phone call to post and let everyone know he is buying a new computer today. And he will be in touch with all today as well

Thank you for this, I have been trying to get a hold of him for a few days. He's been great at getting back to me so I figured he was out of town.

Baffle glue up started:

HAL · « **Reply #96 on:** 7 Mar 2015, 07:14 pm »

Second part of baffle glued. Next will be the sides after this glues sets up.

Second baffle glue-up has begun as well. Now for more glue drying time.

HAL · « **Reply #97 on:** 7 Mar 2015, 08:37 pm »

And I want folks to know that I typically do not do woodworking as I have 10 left thumbs and only a few wood working tools. Ruben sent everything I need to build them with the flat packs. Never have been good at it.

I have assembled IKEA furniture and this is very similar!

HAL · « **Reply #98 on:** 8 Mar 2015, 11:49 am »

Glue is dried.

Put in the dowel pegs to get ready for side glue up.

HAL · « **Reply #99 on:** 8 Mar 2015, 01:05 pm »

Side panel glued to the baffle. More drying time.
